Hi
How do I know if I am in overtrainning?
I changed my trainning 2 months ago and am loosing weight althou I'm already very thin (1,85m and 68Kg).
My trainning before the change was basically for health (3 times a week, 1.500 to 1.800m each day).
Now I'm trainning harder to do some runs, doing 2.500 to 3.000 each day (3 times a week) and focusing in sprints.
My wife said I've been irritable, so I'm concerned if I exagereted in the pool.

Your possible overtraining my be due to "focusing on sprints".
Try a week of aerobic, low heart rate swimming.
If the rest and or aerobic workouts dont do the trick, by all means see a health care provider to rule out any physical abnormalities. Fatigue can be a sign that the body is not getting enough of its required oxygen demand. Things like anemia, poor lung function and poor cardiac pumping ability (cardiac output) can cause fatigue especially when activity level has increased from a resting base line.
Never ignore warning signs from the body. Pain, shortness of breath and fatigue can and do occur normally with exercise, but if thses signs seem unreasonable for your level of activity and rest interval, than by all means seek a health care professional.
